NIST Standard Reference Database 1A

NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Library with Search Program: (Data Version: NIST 08, Software Version 2.0f)

 

This database is the product of a multiyear, comprehensive evaluation and expansion of the world's most widely used mass spectral reference library.

(available ONLY from distributors)

Contents of the NIST/EPA/NIH (NIST 08) Mass Spectral Library
Library Name Library Description Library Contents
mainlib Main EI MS library 191,436 spectra
replib Replicate spectra 28,307 spectra
nist_salts EI Salt Library 717 spectra
nist_msms MS/MS Library 14,802 spectra of 3,898 positive and 1,410 negative ions
nist_ri Retention Index Library 293,247 Kovats RI values for 44,008 compounds

Evaluation and Quality Control

  • Each spectrum critically examined by experienced mass spectrometrists.
  • Each chemical structure examined for correctness and consistency, using both human and computer methods.
  • Spectra of all stereoisomers intercompared.
  • Chemical names examined by experts and IUPAC names provided.
  • Thousands of replacements of spectra with a higher quality spectra.
  • Verified CAS registry numbers.

This library is available with Version 2.0f of the full-featured NIST MS Search Program for Windows, which also includes integrated tools for:

  • GC/MS deconvolution (AMDIS version 2.66)
  • Interpretation of mass spectra (MS Interpreter version 2.0, a thermodynamics-based interpreter of fragmentation)
  • Chemical Substructure Identification

    New features of the NIST MS Search Program are:

  • A spectrum search for MS/MS spectra in MS/MS libraries
  • A search for information in the Contributor/Comment field which may be particularly useful for certain types of information relevant to MS/MS spectra
  • Flexibility in using Name fragments in Constraints that allows specifying the presence or absence of arbitrary parts of a name
  • Five new constraints that permit additional types searches

System Requirements: PC with Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0, Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, or Windows Vista®; hard disk with 540 MB of available space required.

 

This includes MS library, Search Program v2.0f, MS Interpreter v2.0, and AMDIS v2.66

Available Separately
An Automated MS Deconvolution and Identification System (AMDIS)

This program extracts the spectrum of each component in a mixture analyzed by GC/MS and identifies target compounds. With the support of the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DOD), it was developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the critical task of verifying a major international treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention. After two years of development and extensive testing it has been made available to the general analytical chemistry community.
